powerpc/pseries/papr-sysparm: Validate buffer object lengths
The ability to get and set system parameters will be exposed to user space, so let's get a little more strict about malformed papr_sysparm_buf objects. * Create accessors for the length field of struct papr_sysparm_buf. The length is always stored in MSB order and this is better than spreading the necessary conversions all over. * Reject attempts to submit invalid buffers to RTAS. * Warn if RTAS returns a buffer with an invalid length, clamping the returned length to a safe value that won't overrun the buffer. These are meant as precautionary measures to mitigate both firmware and kernel bugs in this area, should they arise, but I am not aware of any.
